Hi There!

Letting SSH out into the wilds is a HUGE security risk!

Either match it onto a fixed ip endpoint, or implement
az easy SSH based VPN like OpenVPN, and
connect through VPN and then SSH through it.

I haven't counted them here but I suspect that your result is about
average. Together with using 'Limit', I disable password authentication
in all of my SSH servers and then don't worry about it. They can try
until hell freezes over and they still won't get in.

Sorry, but this comment was lost on me! How does disabling password
authentication make you more secure? Are you only allowing access with
private keys or something?

Yep, No opportunity for brute-force dictionary attach, the server is not 
interested/listening for a username/password combination, it does the DH bit 
and then exchanges certificates, and if there is a match, you are connected.

port knocking, obscure port, and certificates will make it about as good as it 
can get.
